COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3350/87

of 6 November 1987

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 laying down detailed rules for the application of intervention measures in the beef and veal sector

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 467/87 (2), and in particular Article 6a (6) thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 3 (2) (g) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 827/87 (4), buying-in prices are fixed on the basis of the two most recently recorded market prices; whereas, in accordance with Article 6a (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, the market prices taken into consideration are those recorded in the Member States where buying-in is authorized; whereas, in the light of the objectives of the recent reform of the intervention arrangements, the Member States in question are in effect limited to those whose market prices are less than 87 % of the intervention price; whereas, in the interest of clarity, this should be specified in Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78;

Whereas Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2226/78 fixes the maximum temperature for the boning room at 10°C; whereas, in order to comply with Council Directive 64/433/EEC of 26 June 1964 on health problems affecting intra-Community trade in fresh meat (5), as last amended by Directive 86/587/EEC (6), this temperature should be raised to 12°C;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Beef and Veal,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

2. Article 13 (1) is replaced by the following:

'1. The boning room shall be maintained at a temperature not exceeding + 12°C.'
